Help! on making a link script	Can't Post

I need some help on making a script that will redirect to my download files.

I want the script to be able to hide the full path to the files on the download servers.

the problem is that my files are not all on the same server, there are on many different servers on the web.

i have over 2000 files that i have to make links for, so i need the script to work from a database of urls like the following:

id1|http://www.theserver.com/filefolder/
id2|http://www.theserver2.com/filefolder/

The link would be:
http://www.myserver.com/cgi-bin/download.cgi?id1=filename.exe

Which would then redirect to:
http://www.theserver.com/filefolder/filename.exe

I have been pulling my hair out trying to make the script and so for i have got nowhere.

Any help how to do this would be very appreciated.

Thanks

Hi

You would use the print "Location: www.url.com\n\n"; to redirect a user.

OR
you could use the CGI->redirect("http://www.url.com");
